| Tom | Greg |
| A young engineer who spends his evenings online and uses weekends to go out and meet up with friends. He has been successfully using Toloka for a long time. We'll tell you how. | An IT specialist with incomplete higher education who specializes in website development. He uses Toloka as an additional source of income. He has registered recently and has already encountered problems. Let's find out what he did wrong. |
| Registration | |
| Tom provides his real personal data on all online services he uses. He sees no point in deceiving anyone. When registering in Toloka, he provided his passport details correctly and has been successfully earning money for several years. | Greg usually registers with fictitious names or nicknames. When registering in Toloka, he used a fictitious first and last name and found himself unable to withdraw the money. When he was asked to confirm that the account belongs to him, Greg couldn't do it because the name in the account and in the documents didn't match. |
| Using the account | |
| Tom knows that according to the User Agreement, he can have only one Toloker account in Toloka. He registered one account and successfully uses it both on the website and in the mobile app. He safeguards the security of his username and password and doesn't give access to his account to anyone. | Greg decided to register several accounts at once despite the rules, hoping to earn more. As a result, he was caught by the antifraud checks (Toloka has an antifraud system for monitoring and preventing fraudulent behavior. It checks user behavior and blocks suspicious accounts), and his accounts were blocked for violating the User Agreement. Now he can't use Toloka anymore. |
| Performing tasks | |
| Tom believes in earning an honest living. So he tries to be attentive, carefully study the instructions, and complete tasks correctly. No wonder he has high skill levels in a variety of tasks. He has access to the most difficult and well-paid tasks and gets bonuses. | After a week of using Toloka, Greg decided to make his life a little easier. He wrote some scripts and started to complete tasks automatically. "Great! Now I can earn some passive income," Greg thought. But soon Toloka algorithms banned him for using scripts. |
| Confidential information | |
| Tom tells his friends about Toloka, shares his referral link, and helps them find their way around the platform. But he remembers that all data in Toloka is confidential and doesn't share screenshots of tasks with friends or post them on social networks. His friends successfully complete tasks and increase his earnings. | Greg believes that any way to make money is good and distributes his referral link through viral emails. Greg also makes videos of how he completes training and posts screenshots of completed tasks on social networks. Moderators noticed this, excluded him from the referral program, and blocked his access to Toloka for disclosing confidential information. Now he can't make his own money or get a percentage of his friends' earnings. |
Tom and Greg's experiences highlight the importance of honesty, responsibility, and following the rules. By providing accurate information, respecting the User Agreement, completing tasks conscientiously, and safeguarding confidentiality, you can build a reliable and profitable experience in Toloka. On the other hand, shortcuts, dishonesty, and violating rules can lead to lost opportunities and account restrictions. Choose the path of integrity, (for ex. Tom), to enjoy steady progress and rewards in Toloka.
